Peanuts are the third-ranking
cash crop in Georgia, averaging $60
million a year. South Georgia
farmers grow about one third of the
U.S. crop, Georgia ranks first
among all states in acres of pea
nuts produced, and a 13 county area
produces over 50 per cent of the
state's allotted acres. These coun
ties, ranked according to acres are
to be found in this section of central
Georgia.
Clean up time is just as important
now as it was in early spring. It
would pay us all to look at the front

visitors passing thru will get a bad

David Lawrence writes in the U.
S. News and World Report: “Our
tax system is today a hodgepodge
of political chicanery, It defies the
basic principles of fairness. Above
all, it undermines individual in
itiative. Those citizens who risk
their funds and give their energies
to enterprises that create jobs are
discouraged by tax rates that re
sult in virtual confiscation of their
earnings. The demagogic cry is
not enlightened self-interest even
for the Treasury. For it means kill
ing the goose that lays the golden
eggs. The overhauling qf ,our
whole fax structure Is long over
due. The citizens are willing to pay
their just share of the Government’s
•expenses. But they cannot long
tolerate unequal and discriminatory
rules and rates of taxation. For this
